I think coconut water is beneficial because there are a lot of other beverages that are out at the market, like Aida Raid, and other products that replenish your electrolyte, but also have a lot of colors and dyes in it. I think coconut water is a natural means to get those electrolytes without those colors and dyes.

So someone is looking for an after sport drink or they've had an intestinal issue or like travelers' diarrhea where they really need to replenish their body with those very important electrolytes, coconut water is a very quick delicious and yummy way to get them.
